Allen is expected to start in the blue paint Sunday against the Avalanche, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen received Friday night off following a four-game losing streak between the posts, allowing Carter Hutton to step in and stop 37 of 38 shots. The Blues didn't provide any support, however, and the club enters Sunday's matchup on a five-game losing streak. A matchup against an inferior Avalanche squad Sunday might be just what Allen and the Blues need to get back on track.
